Prior to the commencement of such host-free period each year, all citrus fruit 
except lemons and sour limes shall be removed from the trees for shipment, 
storage, or sale, and all other host fruits shall be destroyed either following 
removal from the trees or by destruction of the trees themselves. 
No host fruits shall be permitted to develop in groves or to exist elsewhere 
within a regulated area at any time during such host-free period except as follows : 
(1) Citrus fruits developing on the trees in such stages of im maturity that, 
in the judgment of an inspector, they are not susceptible to infestation by the 
Mexican fruit worm; and (2) citrus fruits in storage, or on retail sale for immediate 
consumption, stored, or maintained under such conditions and for such periods 
of time as shall be approved by an inspector. 
SECTION B. INSPECTION 
A system of inspection shall be carried on throughout the year to provide for 
the efficient enforcement of sections A and C of this regulation, for the 
prompt discovery of any infestations which occur, and for the enforcement of 
such conditions in and around citrus groves and packing and preserving plants 
as shall prevent the possibility of fruit-worm development therein. 
SECTION C. INFESTED ZONES 
Upon the determination of a Mexican fruit-worm infestation within a regu- 
lated area, an infested zone shall be designated by the State of Texas in a manner 
approved by the United States Department of Agriculture, and all host fruits 
in susceptible stages of maturity produced within such zone and remaining 
in the regulated area shall be destroyed or processed in such a manner as to 
render them free from infestation.

these regulations shall have securely attached to it the shipping permit (Form 443)
